Electrical contracting is a high-risk profession. Whether you're wiring a new home, repairing a commercial panel, or installing lighting systems, the potential for injury is real. That’s why workers compensation insurance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a smart business move.

At Total Work Comp, we specialize in helping electrical contractors across the U.S. find the right coverage at the best price. We work with multiple top-rated insurance carriers to ensure you get a policy that fits your needs and budget.
⚠️ Common Risks Faced by Electrical Contractors
Electrical contractors face unique hazards on the job, including:
Falls from ladders or scaffolding
Tool-related injuries
Exposure to hazardous materials
Repetitive strain injuries
Without proper coverage, a single workplace injury could lead to costly medical bills, legal fees, and lost productivity.
🛡️ What Does Workers Compensation Insurance Cover?
A comprehensive Work Comp Policy typically includes:
Medical expenses for injured employees
Lost wages during recovery
Rehabilitation costs
Death benefits for families in case of fatal accidents
Legal protection against employee lawsuits
Having the correct policy ensures your business stays compliant and your team stays protected.
💼 Who Needs Workers Compensation Insurance?
If you’re an electrical contractor with employees—even part-time or seasonal—you’re likely required by state law to carry workers compensation insurance. Even if you’re a solo contractor, having coverage can protect you from unexpected medical costs and liability.
